Wait 10 seconds from the time the refueling nozzle is shut off until you remove the nozzle from the vehicle to allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank. The Easy Fuel system is self-sealing and therefore protected against dust, dirt, water, snow and ice. If you need to fill your fuel tank with a portable fuel container, use the fuel funnel which is attached to the underside of the spare tire cover or is included with the tire changing tools. Slowly insert the funnel into the Easy Fuel system and fill the tank with fuel from the container. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels can be purchased from your authorized dealer. Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the Easy Fuel system and may cause damage.
